Rangers signed INF Pedro Ciriaco to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Ciriaco was non-tendered by the Braves in December after batting .261/.275/.352 with one home run and four stolen bases in 151 plate appearances last season. The 30-year-old will attempt to win a bench job in the spring. Wed, Jan 13, 2016 02:47:00 PM

Mike Fiers (back) will not make his scheduled Grapefruit League start on Tuesday.

Sandy Baez has been called up to take Fiers' spot against the Yankees. Fiers has been pounded for 12 earned runs in 11 1/3 innings this spring, but he is still locked into a spot in the Tigers' rotation for now.
